BooBoo Stewart, the youngest member of the "Twilight" saga's wolf pack, doesn't make his official debut until the franchise's third film, "Eclipse," but he got his first taste of vampire magic at Monday night's "New Moon" premiere.

"You've never seen anything like it," he tells the Ministry of Gossip exclusively. "The fans were screaming, it was awesome."

Stewart (not to be confused with lead Kristen) and his sister Fivel prepped with a private hair session at West Hollywood's Parlour on 3rd, where they lifted his locks into a dapper coif -- rivaling the volume of that belonging to one Robert Pattinson.

"The second we left the salon, there were paparazzi everywhere," Stewart said.

From the salon, the duo hit the red carpet for more than two hours with the media, where naturally he was hounded about his personal life.

"Everyone asked if I had a girlfriend, but I always answer 'No,' because I don't."

Breathe a collective sigh of relief, fans.

After the onslaught, Boo Boo sat down to see "Twilight: New Moon" for the first time. And what did he think?

"It was really good. The fight scenes in there between the wolves [and the vampires] were so cool."

At the film's locked-down after party -- attended by RPatz, KStew and BooBoo's shape-shifting brethren Taylor Lautner and Alex Meraz -- he was most excited to hang out with "Eclipse" director David Slade.

Between now and spring, when BooBoo will be trotted out globally in support of "Eclipse," he'll promote his coming-of-age drama "Smitty," costarring Mira Sorvino.
